> The simple reason for that shared trait is that all of those teams were comprised of groups of people with a few key things in common:

> A clearly understood goal > A common set of values in pursuit of that goal

The only time when i have seen this to be true is when people don't have to work for money and when they believe that their basic needs (maslow's hierarchy's bottom 2 layers) have been taken care of forever (FIRE). That's when they truly work for a shared set of goals/values

Which organizations had those shared goals and actions?

In the charity/non-profit space a lot of organizations are led and operated by retirees and others for whom money is a solved problem. And they are rife with infighting, politics and dispute.

i work for a community-focused nonprofit, but the middle managers are ineffectual and problematic, and the c-levels aren't clueful enough to realize the toxicity being created below them (plus are too obsessed with bolstering their own careers to care).

i'm tired of it, despite truly believing in the org's mission.
